    Blues: Plymouth Rock or Australorp?

    Here are (supposedly) blue plymouth rock pullets at ~6 weeks -- got them from a local farm who bought a big sexed batch. They appear grey/black but there is a bluish tint when in the sunlight. Legs are definitely yellow with black coloration on the top.

    Bugs in chicken feed

    More importantly what should I do with the bag? I see some folks just pour it out and let the birds go nuts. Even if the store will refund me I doubt they'll take it back or will just tell me to toss it in the dumpster. Bad idea to pour it in the leaf compost?

    Bugs in chicken feed

    I did a few searches and couldn't find any threads with photos. Are these weevils? Whole bunch of them in a new bag of starter feed!

    ISO Rooster, in upstate NY, Candor, NY area

    I have these guys who are going to need new homes -- 12-13 wks, hatched at home, handled often. Unfortunately I'm a little far from you, about 3.5 hours, but if you're willing to meet in between (Scranton or Bham), maybe we can make it work.

    Late-maturing cockerel? 12+ weeks, small comb, no wattles

    Curious what breed this guy is -- maybe a NH or RI red? All the feathers point to rooster -- but where are the wattles?! He is about 12.5 weeks, yet the other boys are very developed and obvious already. Is this common?

    Male or female buff ?

    Just curious, how old? I think this one is also a buff orphington and I'm pretty sure it's a boy, though his behavior is much milder than the other roosters. ~13 weeks

    Searching for Light Brahma Cockerel

    Yeah, he was the first to hatch and clearly larger than the others. I certainly hope someone takes him soon! We have two more cockerels besides him .....

    Official BYC Poll: Which waterer is better: Nipples or cups?

    I set up a 2 gal bucket and a ~24" PVC run with 4 drinking cups. I was a little worried as the cups didn't seem to fill and the chickens were struggling to get every drop from the very bottom of the cup. With the recent heat wave this was obviously a concern. Then I realized the issue: I was...

    Good question! See below: Not sure about this one. Not sure about this one either. Rhode Island Red? Buff orphington? Light brahma?

    Searching for Light Brahma Cockerel

    We are a bit far (central NJ) and this is too late, but here is our guy. 12 weeks old, just crowed yesterday. He will need a new home soon, if anyone else is looking!

    Greetings from central NJ

    Hello all! We are new to the game - we interacted with our neighbor's flock for a few years and finally decided to join the fun. We hatched six eggs during the quarantine so our kids could learn about the process. We're at week 12 now - unfortunately have a couple crowers but I guess that's...
